This guide walks you through setting up the VibeTrader Expert Advisor (EA) on your MetaTrader 4 platform. Follow the step-by-step instructions below.

1. Download VibeTrader EA

Download the VibeTrader MT4 Bridge from your dashboard or with the button below.

  • Open your VibeTrade dashboard onboarding flow, or use the download button on this page.
  • Under MT4 Bridge, click Download for v1.10.

↓ Download MT4 Bridge v1.10 (.ZIP)

2. Access the Experts folder

The Experts folder is where MetaTrader 4 stores Expert Advisors (automated trading programs).

  • In the upper-left corner of MetaTrader 4, click File → Open Data Folder.
  • In the Data Folder that opens, click into the MQL4 folder.
  • Inside the MQL4 folder, click into the Experts folder.

3. Add VibeTrader files to the Experts folder

  • In your Experts folder, extract the contents of the .zip file you downloaded in Step 1.
  • Ensure the following file is placed directly into the Experts folder (not in a sub-folder):
  • vibe-trading-bridge.ex4

4. Allow AutoTrading and WebRequest URLs in MetaTrader 4

  • At the top of MetaTrader 4, click Tools → Options.
  • Go to the Expert Advisors tab.
  • Tick Allow automated trading (wording may vary slightly by build).
  • Tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL and add:

https://vibetrader.live

  • Click OK.

5. Enable AutoTrading

  • In the MetaTrader 4 toolbar (at the top of the terminal), locate the AutoTrading button.
  • If the button is red / off, click it to enable automated trading. It should turn green / active.

6. Attach VibeTrader EA to a chart

  • Open the Navigator panel in MetaTrader 4 by pressing Ctrl+N (or by clicking View → Navigator).
  • In the Navigator panel, right-click on Expert Advisors.
  • Click Refresh.
  • Find vibe-trading-bridge in the list, right-click it, and select Attach to Chart. Choose any chart.

7. Configure EA settings

A properties window for the EA will appear.

  • Under the Common tab, ensure Allow live trading is ticked.
  • Click through to the Inputs tab next.

8. Input your Seat ID and connector key

  • In your VibeTrade dashboard, open the seat you want to connect and copy its Seat ID.
  • Generate or copy the seat’s MT4 connector key.
  • Open the Inputs tab in the EA properties window.
  • Paste the Seat ID and connector key into the matching fields.
  • Click OK. The EA will now attempt to connect.

9. Verify connection in VibeTrade

Once connected, return to your VibeTrade dashboard onboarding or seats view to confirm the bridge is online.

  • Look for a recent “last seen” heartbeat on the seat’s MT4 connector.
  • If status is still offline, refresh the dashboard and confirm AutoTrading, WebRequest URL, Seat ID, and connector key.

All done with the MT4 setup. Next, fire one TradingView alert to confirm the ticket and stop appear in MetaTrader — you can watch that trade under Live routing in the dashboard.
